I had a single room, so it was small, but perfect for my needs. Location was fantastic, right on Laugavegur, could walk to all kinds of fun places. Rainbow street was a block away. Very friendly and helpful staff. This was the second time I have stayed at a Center Hotel, and I found both locations (Skjaldbreid and Bingholt) to be very clean and comfortable, and well within my budget. Highly recommend.

A great stay! Comfy beds, good staff, close to things, only drawback is you're right in the center of the nightlife area so you can expect to hear music and drunkenness and random yelling late into the evening.

We have no complaints. The hotel is in the middle of town with numerous places to eat, things to do, and even the Corner Market grocery store. It is only a couple of blocks from Bus Stop #6. Our room was very clean and comfortable, breakfast was wonderful, and the front desk staff were very nice and helpful.
